Given the baseline security of these sorts of systems, this is a disaster waiting to happen.
- bobthepanda 3y agoYeah, we just grounded an entire aircraft fleet for a few years due to systems overriding pilots.
- cromka 3y agoDue to systems not designed properly and with improper regulatory oversight. Also, these systems were overriding these decisions autonomously, not through human intervention. A defeatist take.
- bobthepanda 3y agoMost incidents start with the systems failing and the pilots being the fallback. It’s not clear how, 1. A remote system would not be immune to this, and 2. How a remote system would be good if the systems are failing and probably producing bad readings
- cromka 3y agoWhat security? How do you people imagine this would even be online connected to the Internet?
- wkipling 3y agoAir gapping from the internet is the least of the worries. You haven't solved the problem, and created a handful more.
- cromka 3y agoElaborate, please, otherwise it’s just an opinion. How is not being connected to the Internet source of a handful more security issues, or any other issues.
